Crister Republic

War of the Cristeros-Part 4

This program features an analysis of The Cristiada, a tragic chapter in Mexico's history that perhaps could have been avoided, but was eventually reconciled by the Mexican people and their leaders. Learn about the clash of religious fervor and anti-clericism that caused a civil war resulting in martyrs that are considered saints. Hear the stories of women who smuggled ammunition and encouraged their husbands and sons to fight.
